I do exercise. Some of which are stretches….I do it to stay healthy. And not be fat. Things like that. I don’t care about what some fool Buddhist thinks some pose does to his katra or whatever. There is nothing “mystical” about the Down Dog position, where you hike you butt in the air while pressing back on your toes after starting in a push-up position.
I do DDP Yoga. Website here: https://ddpyoga.com/
There is no mediation or anything like that. Just good cardio exercise. How’s that?
I find it hard to believe, based on the book of Revelation, that anyone in the tribulation who follows the antichrist will do so without realizing the religious implications of their action. The very presence of the false prophet as a tool of the antichrist indicates that people will follow him for religious reasons, and John indicates specifically that the masses choose the mark of the beast in rebellion against Christ. I don’t think the comparison to performing physical movements apart from knowledge/intent to worship false gods is valid.
